McCain and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin left attend a campaign rally at Pima County Fairgrounds

Kyl, a formerGOP whip, also worked in support of Judge Neil Gorsuch's Supreme Court nomination for the client Judicial Crisis Network, which paid Covington $215,000 a year ago, according to lobbying disclosures. I am deeply grateful to Senator Kyl for agreeing to succeed his friend and college of so many years.

Former Sen Jon Kyl has only agreed to a brief appointment filling the late John McCain's senate seat.

The unusual timing of Kyl's appointment could work out for another Arizona Republican who wants to become a United States senator - Rep. Martha McSally. Jon Kyl has only committed to fill the Senate seat of the late John McCain through January of 2019.

Arizona is among the states where Trump's approval ratings are solid and durable, and McSally was hardly a Trump backer when he ran for President in 2016.

One of his first tasks will be to vote in President Donald Trump's nominee for United States Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh.

Doug Ducey chose former US Sen.

Ducey is expected to hold a news conference Tuesday to officially announce Kyl as McCain's successor in the Senate.

Once he is sworn in Wednesday, Kyl will cast crucial votes in the coming weeks on Kavanaugh's nomination, government spending and possibly billions for a U.S. -Mexico border wall and perhaps another round of tax cuts.

Amazon hits $1 trillion market value milestoneThough it was a briefly-held position, given the erratic nature of the stock market, it was an exciting milestone nonetheless. Interestingly, as The Verge points out, Amazon is only the third company internationally to hit a $1 trillion market cap.

The ceremony for the 76-year-old Kyl took place at the U.S. Capitol at 9:45 a.m. Arizonatime.

"Over the weekend, Senator John McCain was laid to rest at Annapolis".

Daniel Ruiz II, a spokesman for Gov. Doug Ducey, disclosed the timing hours after Ducey appointed Kyl to fill the seat left vacant by the death of John McCain.

Under Arizona law, Ducey is responsible for appointing a McCain replacement until a November 2020 special election.

If Kyl does retire (again) at the end of this year, Ducey could appoint someone who would be able to run for re-election in 2020. Kyle promised Ducey he will at least serve through the end of the year. His appointment may make it possible for him to vote for the nomination.

McCain, who served 35 years in Congress, died August 25 after battling brain cancer.

Kyl's new stint in the Senate is not likely to last long.

His funeral service Saturday at Washington National Cathedral was in many ways a stern rebuke of Trump, with presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama eulogizing McCain as an iconic statesman who embodied passionate but civil debate, bipartisan compromise and a commitment to American values. He said during those trips he realized that McCain had better instincts on when to assert U.S. power than anyone else he knew.

Last year, 628,000 African tourists visited China, 4.4 per cent more than 2016, while over a million Chinese travelled to Africa. Analysts said China's pledges highlighted Africa's growing importance to Beijing as its trade war with Washington escalated.

Seized from government forces in 2015, Idlib and surrounding areas form the last major swath of territory still in rebel hands. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said they had killed 13 civilians, including children, but no fighters.

They did it without Bell, and it sure seemed like the Steelers couldn't care less. "He provided good and consistent play for us". Conner received the first-team reps in preseason, and Tomlin said the game plan will not be altered if Bell isn't on the field.

The ex-San Francisco 49ers player has been chosen to help mark the 30th anniversary of the brand's famous Just Do It slogan. The main image is a close-up of Kaepernick's face with the following words imposed on the frame: "Believe in something".

From afar, the cars look eerily similar, perhaps only the "skin" structure of the Lego Technic pieces gives the Lego Chiron away. Those attending the Grand Prix Formula 1 event in Monza, Italy today will be able to see the mind-blowing creation in person.

Apple's big iPhone reveal event will be held in the new Steve Jobs Theatre at the company's headquarters in Cupertino. But while we thought we'd have to wait weeks to see the new Apple Watch , we only had to wait hours.

The agreement would have given the US and 10 other Pacific Rim countries access to 3.25 per cent of Canada's dairy market. Trudeau has previously said he could not sign a deal that has an expiry date on it, but that was when the U.S.

Once he returned to regular play, Donaldson shone again with 33 homers, 78 RBIs and a.944 OPS in 113 games. Now, he'll join the team trying to end the longest World Series drought in baseball at 69 years.

McCain died on August 25 at his ranch near Sedona, Arizona after a yearlong battle with an aggressive form brain cancer. Her tearful, impassioned tribute opened the memorial service for John McCain at Washington National Cathedral.
